I think i would stay away from this one. 69 dash fenders and vin but the rest of it looks like a 70.

Is it a 69 or a 70? Yes it is....wow talk about identity crisis...It looks like he had a 69 standard and a 70 xr7 and combined the two...you are right to stay away from this one unless you can get it for 10k and just want to drive it....Not the most attractive color combo either IMHO...

What a mash-up! Looks like nice work, but I would stay away from it.

Also read in the discription that it is a fastback. WHAAAAT???

If THAT was accurate, I'd be all over it lol

The VIN listed is a 69 XR-7 out of the San Jose plant 9R93H502250. Door tag is for sure a 69. Some one did a fairly nice job bulding a 1970 Cougar XR-7 clone. But the ignition switch is in hte wrong place.
Edit, As nice as it may be, it is not a $24,000 Cougar.

The question is: Why? There can't be any value added here. Either the person who built it didn't know what was what (seems unlikely, given the apparent quality of the build) or they had parts of two cars and made something they wanted. It is now just like any other custom as far as the market is concerned.

I have to agree, This car is not, IMO worth as much as it would have been if done with the 69 parts on it. Or if it were the correctly done 70 351 4V XR-7. But can be a fun Cougar to drive if priced rite. I would not go more then may be 5 to 6K. Some one may pay more. some not that much. Of corse I would have to go look it over before paying a dime. I did send the Dealer selling it a note. Will see what I get back, if any thing.

Evidently if you give it a big enough glossy magazine style write up it increases value dramatically!! LOL as the song goes...."never gonna get it, never gonna get it"

Wow - that is the most mixed up 1969 to 1970 Cougar I have ever seen!
